There's a Trollope Society, and their website is interesting. I was not aware that he was such a prolific writer or that he also wrote so many travel and non-fiction books. http://trollopesociety.org/

They have an "all things Trollopian” website too. http://www.anthonytrollope.com/
Thanks for the links. I didn't know that.
I read a lot of Trollope a long time ago, but I remember I liked his books, as I went through several of them.
For books from this period, it always takes some time to 'get into' the story, but sofar (chapter 5) I like The American senator.
